    Am looking at the Samsung netbooks. Was going for the NC10 but had a look at the NC120 and NC20. Superficially they look pretty much the same. Different sites have different specs,hard to get full list. The Samsung site is surprisingly sparse for the NC120 and NC10.

    1.6 processor(NC20 has Nano,others have Intel Atom), 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive, Windows XP, 1.3 MP webcam.
    NC20 and NC120 have card reader.
    NC20 has 12' screen,others have 10'.
    NC20 has full size keyboard,others have 90%.

    Had EUR400 budget but could go up if its worth it.

    Gonna be used for word processing, printing, internet browsing, downloading PDFs from work site, maybe iTunes too. Portability is handy hence the netbook rather than laptop.

    My mistake....the question was implied.

    Which one is best?

    Was thinking the NC20 but its bigger screen brings its battery life back to less than that of the NC120 so don't think the larger screen is really worth it. The NC20 does have a bigger keyboard and if I upgrade the RAM could run Windows 7. But it is EUR100 more.

    I'm actually running windows 7 RTM on my advent 4211 with 1Gb of RAM and it's grand so far. Although i have a 2Gb stick on it's way in the post. I'm really surprised how well it's running with the atom and 1Gb of RAM, i've got aero working and haven't noticed any slowness. That being said, so far i haven't been using it for much more than web browsing.
